The Steelers announced Thursday signing quarterback Logan Woodside and offensive lineman Andrus Peat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWoodside was originally drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft,\u201d Steelers.com\u2019s Teresa Varley wrote. \u201cHe has also spent time with the Tennessee Titans (2020-21) and Atlanta Falcons (2022-23).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Woodside was a very late Day 3 pick, Peat went off the draft board at the No. 13 overall in his class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeat was originally drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft, spending nine seasons with them,\u201d Varley added. \u201cHe appeared in 111 games, with 102 starts for the Saints, and was named to the Pro Bowl three times (2018-2020).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To make room for Woodside and Peat on the roster, the Steelers waived long snapper Tucker Addington and guard Nick Broeker.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Sign QB Logan Woodside With Will Howard Unavailable<\/h2>\n<p>Pittsburgh\u2019s addition of Woodside comes two days after rookie Will Howard suffered a hand injury.<\/p>\n<p>Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin hasn\u2019t rule out Howard playing in the preseason finale. But he won\u2019t be available for Saturday\u2019s game versus the Jaguars.<\/p>\n<p>Tomlin announced Thursday that Aaron Rodgers (along with several other starters) won\u2019t play in the contest. With that in mind, Steelers insider Mark Kaboly tweeted quarterback Skylar Thompson and Woodside will play a \u201clarge portion of game\u201d against Jacksonville.<\/p>\n<p>Woodside spent the beginning of this offseason with the Cincinnati Bengals, who drafted him at No. 249 overall in 2018. Woodside last appeared in an NFL game for the Atlanta Falcons in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>He spent the 2020 and 2021 seasons with the Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n<p>The quarterback has played a lot in the preseason during his career. But in 13 regular season games, Woodside has never attempted a pass.<\/p>\n<p>He has rushed for 10 yards on 14 attempts. Woodside has played 44 offensive snaps in his career.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Add Ex-Pro Bowl Guard Andrus Peat<\/h2>\n<p>Quarterbacks always steal the headlines, but Peat is hardly a footnote in Pittsburgh\u2019s August 7 transactions.<\/p>\n<p>The New Orleans Saints drafted Peat at No. 13 overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. He has more than 100 games of starting experience. Peat also made the Pro Bowl for the Saints three consecutive years from 2018-20.<\/p>\n<p>The veteran remained an NFL starter when healthy until last season. The 2024 campaign was also the first year he wasn\u2019t with the Saints.<\/p>\n<p>Peat appeared in 15 contests for the Las Vegas Raiders last season. He made one start.<\/p>\n<p>The 31-year-old has mostly played left guard in his NFL career. But he\u2019s also played left tackle, particularly in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>During his final season as a starter with the Saints in 2023, Peat switched to starting at left tackle after Week 6. In 2024 with the Raiders, he played 34 snaps at guard and 11 snaps at tackle.<\/p>\n<p>Peat is essentially replacing Broeker, who is a guard. So, in all likelihood, the Steelers see Peat as a guard as well. But he has the versatility to kick outside if needed.<\/p>\n<p>Including Peat, Pittsburgh has 15 offensive linemen on its roster, seven of which the team has listed as guards. Peat is one of those seven guards.<\/p>\n<p>Dave Holcomb is a sports reporter covering the NFL and MLB for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions.
